I have a few small Orchids, this particular plant is a Laeliocattleya. It is about 15 inches tall at most. This little Green Anole must be very young! He was about 2 inches long and the photo was taken with my macro mode on my DSLR camera.

I was so amazed, because I have never seen an Anole this small. We have males, females and juveniles all the time on the Orchids.....just never this small! Just though I would share!

I have a bunch of those in my backyard, they are pretty neat (and they eat bugs! Yay!). They sometimes blow out their throats like a red balloon.

I haven't seen one that small though.

Kaya, do you raise orchids as a hobby? How many do you have and what types of orchids are you cultivating? As for small lizards up here in Chicago area you only see them in pet stores!!!

sexner · 2 September 2009, 11:26 PM

Very impressive photograph, Kaya!

keschete · 2 September 2009, 11:27 PM

I have a few laeliocats and an oncidium. I used to raise draculas and masdevalias in a terrarium, but that was a lot of work. So now I just have a few outside, nothing fancy. I do great with orchids, but I don't have the time.

Here is a bella and a cordobae that I raised...

Beautiful pictures

kyle L · 2 September 2009, 11:34 PM

Cool! I saw a similar one in South Carolina. I wish we had that where I live.

diablojota · 2 September 2009, 11:43 PM

As a kid, growing up in Savannah, I used to catch anoles all of the time. They were so cool. I love how they change from green to brown depending on their environment. It was because of those little guys that I started volunteering in a herpetology lab whilst in high school.

Those are really neat photos, guys

I have those same little green guys all over the place, nice shot.

unclesallie · 3 September 2009, 07:37 AM

nice photos....orchids are very beautiful and that little guy is cool thanks!

Saxon007 · 3 September 2009, 08:00 AM

Well, I'm no Richard Attenborough but I did manage to catch this guy blowing out his red balloon. It's a little blurry, he wouldn't hold still, lol.

Taffi Abernathy · 3 September 2009, 08:10 AM

Kaya,

That is too cute! In fact, there are some really good shots on this thread. Faith

Latrodectus · 3 September 2009, 10:05 AM

what a nice picture...

keschete · 3 September 2009, 12:22 PM

Thanks for the nice comments, and pictures.

keschete · 4 September 2009, 10:00 AM

My little fiend was back this morning. These are non macro photos so you can see how small he really is. I haven't ever seen an anole this little. He must have hatched this week.

Latrodectus · 4 September 2009, 12:04 PM

I guess he feels good in your orchids!

He certainly looks great.

marshallr47 · 4 September 2009, 01:38 PM

Great photo. Thanks for sharing.

keschete · 4 September 2009, 01:39 PM

Thanks! I have a fondness for all creatures, but I am especially attached to my bearded dragons.

I actually have 7 dogs, 3 cats, 5 sugar gliders, 2 hedgehogs and 2 bearded dragons. I rescue everything and I used to rehab wildlife. So I love all critters and enjoy making a nice home for them.

Here is Diablo

Gaijin · 4 September 2009, 02:05 PM

Did it speak in a bad Cockney accent and try and sell you some car insurance?

Diablo looks great...I only have 3 dogs, but reptiles and spiders and frogs...

I like nature, can you tell

ratae1950 · 5 September 2009, 01:25 PM

Taffi Abernathy · 5 September 2009, 01:34 PM

Whoa, Lizard Lady, another great picture! What do you feed this guy? (omnivore?)

Hehehe, thanks, Ash and Diablo get mustard, turnip and collard greens and lots of crickets. The two of them eat about 1000 crickets every 10 days. They will become more vegetarian as they age.

Here is a picture of Ash, he is white.

East Bay Rider · 5 September 2009, 02:14 PM

Great pics. I saw my first one ever while at Disney a few weeks ago. I was amazed at the red throat balloon. We don't have those running wild in New England.
